Lightroom Presets

Take Your Photos Beyond Emulation

The magic of analog is about more than just the film – it's about bringing your artistic vision to life. That's why NATE Presets are designed different. Rather than imitating the average result of a film, these presets capture entire aesthetics – combining analog film, development techniques and paper styles to take your work beyond emulation.

Crafted For Your Camera

Every NATE preset is custom calibrated for your camera model, using the exclusive "NATE Cam" custom camera profiles. That means these presets are built to work in the real world – with YOUR camera – and not just to look good in demo images. See Supported Cameras.

Superior Tone & ColorNot all RAW profiles are created equally. The NATE Cam profile built for your camera takes full advantage of the capabilities of RAW profiles. It includes precise calibrations that improve both tone & color renditions. In technical terms, they use embedded Tone Curves, the Color LookTable, and the ColorMatrix. This isn't always the case with other preset makers, many of which only calibrate tones in the embedded Tone Curve.

Better Results in All Kinds of LightOur calibration profiles automatically adjust to the white-balance of your photo to provide more accurate colors. To do this, our profiles are calibrated against two different lighting situations (one using "cool" light and another using "warm" light). Having these "Dual-Illuminant" calibrations enables Lightroom to render colors more accurately & naturally across all kinds of lighting situations.

500+ Custom Profiles (and counting)Your camera model is unique in the way it's sensors interprets tone & color. That's why NATE presets include a custom RAW calibration profiles made unique to your camera model. They're the foundation of every NATE preset, and part of the reason they produce consistently stunning results, no matter which camera you use. SEE SUPPORTED CAMERAS.

Fine Tune Your Style

NATE presets make it easy to style your photos exactly the way you want. Adjust the intensity of any preset, quickly and accurately, using the included strength variations. And use the include NATE Film Toolkit in conjunction with each main preset to fine-tune your look. See how >>

Adjustable Intensity LevelsEver wish you could make a preset a little less (or more) intense? Now you can. Every NATE preset comes with adjustable intensity levels, so you can dial-in just the right intensity for your style. While Lightroom can't blend layers, I've modeled this effect for you. So you can accurately turn down (or up) the intensity of each preset.

The NATE Film ToolkitThe NATE Film Toolkit gives you access to some of my favorite (and most often used) tweaks. They were designed to work perfectly with the way I've built the main preset packs, acting as a a secondary step in your processing. It lets you fine tune your look quickly, in ways that would be cumbersome to do manually. It includes: Film Dynamics, Film Fade, Film Punch, Film Saturation & Advanced Film Grain.Watch how the Film Toolkit works >>

Easier to Adjust Curve PointsThe professional level presets from NATE include simpler, easier to adjust curve points than the free starter pack. By using the minimum number of points required to built each curve, it makes it simpler for you to make adjustments and fine-tune your look.

FAQ

Will this work with my version of Lightroom?

These presets work perfectly with Lightroom 4, 5, 6 & CC.

Will this work with Photoshop?

Yes, you can use the included ACR presets on RAW photo files in Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Bridge. You can also use these filters on non-RAW files inside Photoshop by applying a "camera raw filter", as described here.

If you're camera model is on this list, then these presets will work perfectly with your camera model. If your camera is not on that list, you can still use the presets, but you may get less than optimal results depending on the available profiles for your camera. If you don't see your camera on the list, email me and let me know what model you would like added.

My Camera Model isn't on your list. Can you make one for me?

Yes – assuming Lightroom supports your camera model, I can create a calibration for your model and add it to the list. Email me here and let me know what camera model you would like to see supported.

Can I use these for video editing?

On the individual preset pages, there is an option to purchase presets that also work for video editing. The video presets are 3D LUT files which will work in Adobe Premiere and Final Cut Pro. If you are using a different video editor, please check first to make sure it accepts 3D LUT files

Does this work with JPEG or only RAW?

These can be applied to both RAW & JPEG files, but you will get the best, most consistent results using on RAW. If you use this on JPEG, I can't guarantee you will get the same results as those shown in the demo images because there are a lot of factors happening in the development process in your camera that the presets can't account for. That said, many photographers have told me they love the results they get on top of their camera's own JPEG files.

Does this work on Mac & Windows?

Yes, this works on both Mac & Windows.

How do I install these presets in Lightroom?

For Mac, there is an included installer program, which makes installation a snap. For Windows users, there are instructions included on how to add these presets to Lightroom.
